I recently got this shellac record:

Sorry for quality, I've got to look for a new stylus.

Neat stuff! Moreton and Kaye were the featured artists in Harry Roy's band, with some intricate hot novelties built around them.

Canadian Capers, 1933 - Temptation Rag, 1935

 

[Giftmacher]

Thanks for info and the crystal clear sound of great music!

This is another one that satisfies!

The vocalist here is Bob Crosby who began singing in the early 1930s with several bands, here he is with Anson Weeks.

Definitely a favorite of late. No better kind of music in God's big world than 40's - 60's country.

And this song, which I just discovered, so happens to be the darndest story of my life.

I am listening to...

"The White Star Line Songbook" - an album of music recorded by the chamber-music orchestra I Salonisti.

The album is comprised of four dozen tracks selected from original Edwardian-era songbooks that were provided to grand ocean-liners of the day...particularly, the RMS Titanic.

It's wonderfully relaxing music.

Current track is one that people who love "The Mills Brothers" might recognise, from 1902:

"The Glow-Worm".

 

[Fletch]

This is another one that satisfies!

I'm satisfied too...Say didn't I link to Bernie Cummins' take of that awhile back? Probably Jan Garber's too.

 

[Cousin Hepcat]

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings

mmmmm....I wish there were more funk bands out there.

LD

She's playing my town in NC on the 26th, gonna see if I can round up anyone to go with me... (most my local friends have young kids now though, & are hard to get out of the house) LD, I'm sure you're already well aware of the Black Dynamite Sound Orchestra; Adrian Younge is a multi-instrumentalist Genius of Funk, playing & arranging; even uses vintage vacuum tube recording equipment from as far back as the 1930's to record with, just like the original low-budget street-corner studios of the 1960s did - Great Stuff...

 

[Fletch]

Now it's 1934

...and respectable people can enjoy hot music once again. Jazz Prohibition was never law and lasted only 2 years, but was just as draconian as the Federal kind.

In A Mist (Bixology) - Frank Trumbauer & Orch., February. Tasty and appropriately modern(e) treatment of the piano classic for a mini-Whiteman ensemble. Tram is not heard from, but Artie Shaw may be on clarinet.

Satan's Holiday - Joe Venuti Blue 4, September. Joe and Frank Victor (his guitar partner after Eddie Lang) with a group they worked with on a British tour.

Royal Garden Blues - Wingy Mannone & Orch. (yes they called it an orch.), October. Sophisticated Dixieland of the kind that would soon be known as "jam." Largely N'orlinian personnel, too.

It Pays to Be Ignorant, from 02/07/1944. It begins with "Why is a watchdog smaller during the daytime?" "Because he's let out at night."

That's my favorite of Havelka's Czech songs.

[HadleyH]

Herman Kenin's "Persian Rug" 1928 vocalist Van Fleming .... all of them completely and utterly forgotten today, of course.

I like very much the arrangement in this musical composition.
